CALL FOR PAPERS
[Scope]
Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide
concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings,
industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified
as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The
mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse
gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate
measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry
itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network
operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of
low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the
operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while
maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will
explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building,
and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to
establish a forum to bring together research professionals from
diverse fields including green mobile networks, system architectures,
networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and
prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation
transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets.
[Topics]
The conference invites original technical papers that were not
previously published and are not currently under review for
publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Communications and Networking:
Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets
Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation
communication
Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network
architectures, deployments, and applications
- Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols:
Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer
design
MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks
- Systems and Technology:
Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks
Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks
Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks
Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile
networks, simulation tools
- Energy-efficient management:
Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management
Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques
Protocols for cooperative management and control
[Publications]
Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will
appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries
online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in
the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing
services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI
Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus.
